The Good Storm God
What the Seven Mothers Missionary Says
In the Golden Age, when Ernalda was an attendant to Yelm the Bright Emperor, she met many beautiful gods at court. She met Entekos, the goddess of the air, and her retinue. One member of her entourage was particularly handsome to behold. This was Doburdun, the Thunderer. He wooed Ernalda, and Ernalda tested him by giving him three important tasks to complete. He did them all with honour, dignity, and without complaint. He rescued Donandar's harp from the Mostali, and fought their Snake of Long Steel. He flashed his booming light on the In Betweens, who no one else could see, and kept them from looting Yelm's pantry. The last test was the most difficult of all - when violent Orlanth came to take Ernalda away, Ernalda bade Doburdun to follow her command, and not to fight. "There is always another way," she said. Doburdun suffered without Ernalda, and when the Darkness came, he searched the world for her. He found her at her loom, weaving everything back together. He fought off the enemies who tried to stop her, and was woven back into the world as her Thunder Husband, who would command the storms, protect the people, and lead the men with dignity, restraint, and honour.
DOBURDUN
God of Thunder and Storms
Doburdun is worshipped in Pelanda and Dara Happa where he is the God of
Thunder and Storms; he is a servant and protector of Entekos the Goddess of
the Air. When the Thirsty One stole into Entekos' palace and swallowed
Shafesora, Doburdun struck him with the Thunderstick. The shattering
Thunder freed the waters and the Thirsty One fled.
In Dara Happa Doburdun is primarily the big but harmless midcontinental summer thunderstorm. He gets worship once each year before these rains start; little direct worship except propitiatory worship when too much rain falls, to keep the storms away. When the Lunar Empire began fighting with the southern barbarians they needed people who could tame the storms of the barbarians and Doburdun was the perfect choice. Initiates of Doburdun have been welcomed into the Lunar Field Colleges and many of the Provincial regiments. The Seven Mothers Missionaries teach people about the Loyal Storm, Doburban as an alternative to Orlanth the Rebel.
